"if i could turn back time"

i'd take back those words that hurt you, and you'd stay. . .

just kidding, but if i really could turn back time, i'd have you all gather round my cute little picture book that i put together of our trip to tokyo.  because the post beneath this took LONGER than it did for me to go to costco, get the pics developed, come home, put the 150+ pics in their slots IN ORDER, and look through it 5 thousand times.  the computer is not my friend. never has been, never will. i want to SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  technology shmechnology. the good old days are seeming mighty good to me right now.  i tried really hard to post these pics, i would double click really fast and sometimes that would work, i'd pray-didn't work, hold my breath-50-50 shot at it working, you get the point.  nightmare!  so after some pics finally pulled up, i tried to caption and explain, from there, everything went down the toilet.  i got blue text with underlines, black vertical lines that moved all the pics, the pictures would jump from center, to left, to right, oh it was such a fun game of cat and mouse.  i am actually very proud of myself for making it this far without a tranquilizer or bashing something to pieces. 

tokyo was so much fun.  way better than i expected.  jen lives right in the middle of it all.  we could walk everywhere, and we did!  casey isn't sure if he liked speed walking from roppongi to moto-azabu but he was a trooper and carried on.  the city is big, busy, and fun--no wonder we liked it!!  :)  casey and i took a day trip to kamakura and it was so beautiful.  the buddah pictures are from there.  we walked around and would literally bump into temples/shrines, it was pretty darn cool.  we had sooooo much fun spending time with jen and company.  she is amazing and i love her so much.  i told her that this is the first place i feel okay about leaving her.  ryan and jen have lived in england, germany and now japan.  she's miss popularity out there and navigates around the city like an old (but young looking) pro!  thanks for everything jigga!  i love you.

Oh Hol....I know what you mean the pictures and the text can be kind of tricky. With how hip and now you are you'd think you would be more down with technology. No worries - why figure it out when LTB can fix it for you.

Thanks for posting. Sorry I missed you the other day. I was lame and asleep. Maybe someday we can hang out with the kids.

I just saw that you left a very thoughtful comment on my blog, thank you.

I am so glad you guys were able to take this trip, what a blast. If you were wanting to know how to rotate your photos, you right click on them and pick either counter or clockwise and just flip it till it is correct. Or, you could leave them the way they are I like the change. who said we are suppose to look at things right side up anyways???

AAARRRGGGHHH!! Two different times I thought to myself, "I've got to call Hollie" and then I totally forgot. Sorry I suck so bad. No wonder I don't have any friends. Happy Birthday, thanks for being my friend.
